Andreas,
I'm supporting the certificate store of windows. I will be reading and writing certificates to be used for SSL/TLS. The reason for this is to simplify some of the tasks needed to support SSL and to support what is already perceived to be a safe storage method in windows. (I am also thinking about supporting LDAP for storage instead but that is down the road, first things first)
As for the VW dll/c connect code. I found the ability to set up libs and header files and automatically generate code very useful. Looking at the FFI kernel it appears that the pieces are there for me to assemble manually, which I why I asked the question if it is possible. What concerns me most is having to dissect the 5 or 6 very large header files that are needed to support the few api calls that are made.
Are there some good examples of more complex FFI calls and structures, or easier ways to support many different required header files? I haven't downloaded the VMMaker or looked at slang, do you suggest I look at that first before deciding on which path to take?
Thanks for you help,
Ron Teitelbaum

I'd assumed that FFI was like DDL/C connect in VW but that's not what I'm seeing. So my question is: What is the best way to get this working?
My first question is: What is it that you're trying to get working? My second one: In which way is the FFI not like DLL/C connect in VW and why would that matter?
Cheers,
